2018 has been a year of heightened awareness and change. However, we have not reached a tipping point. Our analysis of the top 100 grossing family films of 2017 found that male characters still outnumbered female characters two-to-one and are being seen and heard 3 times more than female co-leads. And for women of color these numbers are even smaller.

Merry Christmas! Have a safe and happy Holiday everyone! 💕 #Repost @sjsowc
